Why I feel the need to write this opening statement (or disclaimer of sorts) is worthy of another blog post altogether. Even so, let me just say that I speak from personal experiences alone; and the thoughts and opinions that flow from these experiences -- not matter how contentious they might be -- are valid.… Continue reading Thoughts on Singleness
Friday Finds — No. 2
Happy Friday! Before the weekend gets underway, I want to share one of my favorite resources with you: THERAPY for BLACK GIRLS. Last fall, a good friend of mine told me about this website, and after I noticed multiple people sharing (and re-sharing) the link on social media, I knew I had to check it… Continue reading Friday Finds — No. 2

Over the last decade or so, I've reconnected with one or two classmates from those days through… Continue reading The Artist
